We all hear and feel LOVED in different ways. In his landmark book: The 5 LOVE Languages, Gary Chapman explains that there are 5 main ways that we hear and/or feel LOVED. If we can take the time to learn our LOVE language (the language that makes us feel LOVED), and learn our spouse, family members, neighbor, and patients LOVE languages, we can 'speak' to them in THEIR LOVE language. This is VERY important because we often can only feel or hear LOVE when people speak to us in the LOVE language that we can hear or feel. If your spouse's LOVE language is QUALITY TIME, then you can do the dishes and clean the house for the REST of your life, and he or she may NEVER feel LOVED! Strange but VERY true. So STOP spinning your wheels and learn that her or his LOVE language is QUALITY TIME and see how it transforms your relationship by simply spending TIME with her or him! Yes, it can be that easy.
The 5 love languages are:
QUALITY TIME
GIFTS
ACTS OF SERVICE
PHYSICAL TOUCH
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

What are the Vital Signs of Healing?
This post is for anyone who cares for others. Just as there are 4 major physical vital signs, I have created 4 main healing vital signs for care givers: Value, Love, Virtue, and Healing. I will be posting my thoughts on these topics as they relate to my personal experiences with patients, co-workers, family, and friends. It is my hope that these posts may encourage and inspire all of us in the process of becoming better care givers.
